NFL Week 1

[PercyP]

After a profitable 2020/21 I am really looking forward to this season. There are always a lot of uncertainties in week one, but with crowds allowed back, home advantage could be a deciding factor.

With all the upgrades made by the Patriots I would be surprised to see Miami go into Foxborough and beat the Pats in front of their home crowd.

(1) New England Patriots -2.5 against the spread @ 5/6

The LA Rams have high expectations for this season and will want to start with a confident display at their new SoFi stadium. Matt Stafford will be key.

(2) LA Rams -7.5 @ 20/21

The jets have a new coach, quarterback and defence, but the team will not improve overnight. The Panthers have home advantage and will have key player Christian McCaffrey back.

(3) Panthers -5 @ 10/11

Delvin Cook is capable of winning any game on his own. With the risks associated with returning quarter back Joe Burrow, I think the Vikings will be too strong.

(4) Vikings -3 @ 10/13

The 49 Ers were in the Super Bowl two years ago and suffered from many injuries last year.  Back to full fitness the 49 Ers should be too good against a Detroit team with limited talent which was ranked 32nd in defence last year.

(5) 49 Ers - 7.5 @ 20/21

The opening bet is a  1 point Canadian plus a a 4 point roll up, total staked 30 points staked. All prices Bet365.

The stupid part of these bets....we all know one of them will be one big disaster...but which one?

All bets should be winners, but most question marks are with Panthers IMO. 49ers is best bet I think.

I'm also eyeing Seahawks -2.5 @Colts. 

Do you have any standout dogs that can win week 1? Steelers, Cardinals, Browns?
